Gemma Arterton's quotes

  • The minute anyone says, "Oh my God! You're so amazing!" I just have to go, "Shut up! Please!". I am normal. I have just one rule--don't believe the hype!
  • As soon as I say, "I can't go out in that dress, I've already worn it before!" my dad will say, "Listen to yourself! Stop being stupid!".
  • In comparison to many actresses I think I'm really average--when I got the Bond film Quantum of Solace (2008) there was this big hoo-ha about me not being hot enough, I have to say I agree--I don't think I'm in that realm.
  • [on her skincare routine] I really have to make myself take off my make-up. I really hate doing that, and brushing my teeth! At the end of the day, when you decide you're ready to go to bed, it's yet another thing to do . . .
  • Actors are so bloody annoying! We are the most erratic, self-centered people and I am amazed how two actors can live together. It is hard enough when there is just one!
  • [2008] [What are your favourite late-night hangouts?] The Bethnal Green Working Men's Club has burlesque and circus nights every month that have a homemade feel I love. And the Pigalle Club in Piccadilly is a great, glam night out.
  • [2008] [What are your home comforts?] Breakfast in a random cafe on a Sunday.
  • [2008] [What are your extravagances?] Shoes and food. I feel guilty about the shoe bit but not for indulging in good food.
  • [2008] [Where is the most romantic spot in London?] Hampstead Heath (you can tell I love that place). Just lying on the grass looking up at the sky. There's something so quintessentially London about it.
  • [2008] [Which London shops do you rely on?] I love Vivienne Westwood. Selfridges, because it has everything. Foyles on Charing Cross Road is the best bookshop for plays. Budgens in Crouch End for great organic fruit and veg.
  • [2008] [What are your current projects?] I'm working at Pinewood Studios on Disney's Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time with Jake Gyllenhaal, Sir Ben Kingsley and Alfred Molina, produced by Jerry Bruckheimer.
  • [2008] [What is your life philosophy?] A line from a Kate Bush song: 'I just know that something good is going to happen; I don't know when, but just saying it could even make it happen.'
  • [2008] [Which perfume do you wear?] At the moment I'm wearing the Bond Girl 007 perfume by Avon or For Her by Narciso Rodriguez. They're gorgeous.
  • [2008] [What is your favourite item in your wardrobe?] A black tassel dress I bought for £5 when I was a student. I bought it in Bang Bang on Goodge Street. I always have fun in it because it makes me want to shimmy.
  • [2008] [What is your earliest London memory?] Visiting my aunt in Stockwell. I remember going on picnics to Greenwich Park and the random music festivals there in the summer. I knew even at that very young age that I wanted to live in London.
  • [2008] [Which is your favourite London shopping street?] Conduit Street, because it has Vivienne Westwood and Ashley's Boutique.
  • [2008] [What would you do if you were Mayor for the day?] I would make the buses cheaper: 50p for a ticket feels reasonable to me.
  • [2008] [What is your favourite London view?] The view from Kenwood House on Hampstead Heath. Or sitting outside the Globe theatre on the South Bank and looking at St Paul's cathedral at night.
